The NBA has long been lauded for its progressive, dynamic stylings, but a recent decision may provoke comparisons to the NFL and its derogatory nickname, the "No Fun League."

NBA chief communications officer Mike Bass confirmed to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that players will no longer be allowed to wear the "ninja-style" headbands seen around the league last season.

"Teams have raised concerns regarding safety and consistency of size, length," Bass said. "When some players began wearing them last season, we didn't want to cause a disruption by intervening midseason."
